Tall people and/or fashionistas -- help me find the perfect pair of jeans!

I'm tall (6 ft) and jeans in most shops are too short, eg. Boden long ones are still too short. I need probably 34" or even 36" leg length. I'm after straight cut rather than flared or bootleg. Gap have just started doing some jeans in a 34" leg, but mainly out of stock and not in combination with the waist size I need (UK size 14, generally).

I found some in Dorothy Perkins Tall range which did fit, but they were very skinny jeans, and made me feel as if I was trying to look like a 14yo. Long Tall Sally have some, but are also described as Skinny -- I quite like narrow fit, but don't want the skin-tight effect, as it's too mutton-dressed-as-lamby on me.

Any thoughts? I'm after dark navy or (ideally) black, smart rather than casual.

Levi do long length legs with lots of different waist sizes. You would need to go into a Levi shop though.

Right, quick update -- I ordered the black skinny jeans from Long Tall Sally, and they are great, not excessively skinny but still slim-fitting (unlike the DotP ones which were very 'poured on'.

Good customer service, too.
